Saturday weather watch

[seasidelytham]

With temperatures again due to fall below freezing tonight ( same as the majority of this week), and the daytime temperature only 2 to 3’c for today and tomorrow, I hope the pitch has been protected with covers, since Tuesday nights game.
Our back garden has been like concrete most of this week….not much of a comparison but it gives an indication that there is not much warmth in the air to help with any thawing.

The attendance might be less than a 1000 as people will expect it to be off.

 

[bfcpete]

Snow and ice in Lincolnshire and temperates feel like minus 5 degrees

 

[Upwards]

Ridiculous.

Only negative sods like you will be convinced it’s off
Are you going now it’s only £15 or less.
You seem to complain about the price even though you expect Sadler to have an open cheque book.

 

[Curryman]

Snow and frost in Shipley yesterday which didn't clear, sharp frost again last night. Current temp -1 feels like -5. Forecast maximum 3.

Nice view Wednesday morning

Temperature -5c at Blackpool airport last night. Reckon it will be touch and go.

I'd be surprised if it goes ahead as things stand.

A shame given the best efforts of the groundsman and team who've no doubt been working all hours.

With conditions set to be worse overnight with not much sun tomorrow would it not be prudent to have a pitch inspection at 2/3 today, and if it's frozen then it's going to be no better tomorrow. If it's OK then crack on and hope it's still playable.

At least FGR and fans could plan a bit better.

They aren't set to be worse.



The covers 'should' be able to protect against that. Ok it only rises to 2 degrees the next day a few hours before KO.

All depends if its already frozen frok the past nights.

That's what I mean. If it's frozen today at X time, then the temp won't rise enough to thaw it out. If it's OK today then it looks like GAME ON!

Makes sense to do that and if any doubt call in a local ref.

Yeah today after giving it time at 2 degrees if it's OK then go ahead.

It'll be the pitch areas not in the sun that is the issue.

Unfortunately at this time of the that’s virtually all of it .

 

[TangerineBayern]

Just heard that Jimmy Floyd Hasselbank is at the ground at the moment inspecting the pitch so can’t see it going ahead can you?

 

[seasidelytham]

Unfortunately even if it’s ok at the 3pm kick off, it has the potential to freeze during the game.

 

[Macseasider]

Touch and go this one I reckon. Mean to be even colder tonight touching -7

Well, it had better be on, FGR are on their way here.
Spotted the team bus at Knutsford services...

What is the usual time for pitch inspection?

[DerbySeasider]

Only down to -2 tonight according to the beeb

 

[Eternaloptimist]

Both tonight’s FA cup games are still shown as being on but tomorrow I reckon more than half will be postponed.

With them being on TV its worth their while spending decent money on the right heaters etc. Possibly with the TV Co's chipping in. They won't be using the groundman's old jumpers for this one.

So, if you have snow where you are you can entertain yourself tomorrow afternoon by building a football team of snowmen in place of the real thing.
